A boy that looked exactly like Draco if only he had inherited the curly hair from the Black side of his family came running to the table hugging his father. "Daddy I made so many friends! I met Harry Potter's sons! And aunt Andy introduced me to cousin Teddy. He's so cool! He made his hair look like mine and then changed it to look like James's. Can you do that?"
"No buddy, I can't. Teddy has a very special gift and that's how he does it." Draco smiled at his son, some people said having kids this age was terribly exhausting but Draco couldn't see anything terrible about his son. The little one was energetic and always running around, yes, but he always came back with such great stories, asking a million questions about everything and anything, it was extraordinary. "Now buddy, I have some people I want to introduce you to, but first I'm gonna go get your sister from granny, okay? Just stay here for a minute."
Orion sat on the chair that had previously been occupied by his father and looked around the table interested to know who he had been left with. He knew most people at the table, having been shown pictures of all of them by his parents.
Like Draco had said he was only gone for a minute and came back with the most beautiful doll-like girl on his arms. "Orion, can I have my seat back? You can sit on my lap."
"Okay dad. You need to introduce me to everyone anyway."
"I haven't forgotten about that buddy. Everyone on this table is extremely important to me and your mum, I'm sure you know most of them from pictures around the house." To get Orion on his lap Draco had to first let go of his baby girl so he looked at the woman to his right "Hermione, do you mind?"
"Of course not." The baby was passed to Hermione, instantly getting closer to the chest of the woman who held her as if she was a porcelain doll, very fragile and extremely precious.
"Now, Orion" Draco started, putting his son on his lap. "This is your uncle Blaise, my best friend, he has been by my side through thick and thin making sure I made the right decisions. Blaise is practically my brother and as you already knew, he's also your godfather."
The little boy put his hand forward for Blaise to shake and after that he introduced himself "Hello uncle Blaise, it is a pleasure to finally meet you, I'm Orion Draco Malfoy." Blaise had tears in his eyes and hugged the miniature version of his best friend only letting go when the little boy started patting his back awkwardly. "It's okay uncle Blaise. Dad said you cry more than my baby sister." Orion then looked back at his father waiting for him to continue.
"These are you uncles Ron, Harry, Neville and Theo, they went to school with me and mummy. You obviously know Harry is the Boy-Who-lived and Ron is his best friend that fought by his side from the very beginning until the very end. Neville is now a Hogwarts Professor and, although I underestimated him in earlier years, one of the bravest men I've met. Theo, well he can be annoying sometimes but he has had a very important role in my life, he's family." Once again the boy shook the four men's hand and repeated his introduction. "Moving on, you have aunt Luna and aunt Ginny. They went to school with me and mum as well. Since you like reading about animals and magical creatures so much you will love Luna, she has the best stories about them and I'm sure she'll be very happy to tell you all about them. Ginny on the other hand will tell you all about Quidditch, and don't tell your mother I've told you this but Gin will also teach you great hexes when you're older. Merlin knows I'd rather face old Voldy in a duel over her."
The little boy giggled a little at that, went up to them and gave a kiss to each of the women introducing himself for the third time, then looking at Ginny before saying "By the way, your son James is very funny. I like him. We are best friends now!"
"That's wonderful Orion. I bet James likes you too." Ginny smiled hugging the little boy.
"And finally son, we have this cute as can be baby who is..."
"Aurora, my baby sister." Orion finished the phrase for his father putting himself on the tips of his toes so he could reach his baby sister's cheek to leave a kiss there, earning himself a big "Aww" from everyone around the table.
"And the woman holding her is of course the beautiful Hermione, known mostly by her maiden name Hermione Granger, the Brightest Witch of her age, War Heroine, Brains of the Golden Trio, Gryffindor Princess... honestly the list goes on and on, son. But you can call her..."
"Mummy!" The little boy said gleefully hugging her legs, knowing not to jump to her when she had his little sister on her arms.

(No Romione bashing though, it made sense in the books and I love little Ronniekins falling for his best friend)
